Centennial was the most heat tolerant,” says Kincaid. “We had a stretch of 90 degree days in May and June. At that time, tempera tures are usually in the seventies. I lost one-half of the Nantes field during that hot stretch, and unsea sonable heat thinned the stands of all my sheers except Centennial.” “Because Centennial was very good for stand, we should have had only 11 to 12 viable plants per foot to get the same yield results as PY6O. We shoot for 14 viable plants per foot with PY6o,andwe planted Centennial at the same rate,” says Kincaid. He reported no foliar diseases with any varieties in the trial. Centennial was evaluated in the G-2852 features outstanding disease protection coupled with high yields and long stands. The Pa.

Yetter Weight Transfer System Keeps Tools In Ground COLCHESTER. IL. The new Yetter one-of-a-kind Weight Transfer System (WTS), can add up to 3,600 pounds downpressure to a toolbar without attaching a single add-on weight And best of all, it can be handled on-the-go from the tractor seat For a graphic description of how the WTS works, visualize a huge lever inserted under the tractor’s rear end (the lifting point) and extending out over the top of the toolbar (the fulcrum). When a large downward force is exerted at the end of the lever, whatever is mounted on the toolbar is forced into the ground with up to 3,600 pounds pressure. Instead of a lever, Yetter uses hydraulics to achieve this unique benefit. A two-inch cylinder is built into parallel linkage directly behind the toolbar and connected to the tractor’s 3-point center link. As this is collapsed, the linkage lifts up against the weight of the tractor, creating tremendous downforce against the toolbar. Because there are no heavy add on weights to liftorpull, there is no need for extra horsepower. An easy-to-read gauge on the linkage permits the operator to adjust downpressure to varying field con ditions. Also, two oil accumulators act as shock absorbers for the hydraulic cylinder when the sys .4, C C BUSINESS NE Grempler Offers No-Vent Goggle For Anhydrous Application MT. HOREB, WI.
